White Bridge

I've played a bunch of these games from this developer over the years, and this one is quite unique. It's mostly fetch questing things for folks, and you're rewarded with XP, gold, and items. 80% of the battles are optional, which is interesting because you don't need to fight everything but at the same time you need to be at a decent level to survive those mandatory battles. Bob the Goblin is an interesting character. He's very neutral, and you get to decide who you want to support in this game. I mean it's alright overall. I was glad to play this on the Steam Deck, so that was a nice touch. I don't know if I would play the entirely of this again, but I'm glad I got to play this. Please continue to support this developer on their upcoming projects! 🐺

Well, it certainly IS different from the typical RPGs. The only limit here is the limits of the RPG maker engine. Skill checks that locks you out from some progressions keep things interesting. Grindy at times but what RPG isn't? But be careful with the choices you make since some of them has one way consequences without any way to undo it... unless you reload a save that is.

Goblin slayer Senpai would not approve of this game, or be mightily conflicted, but I hope he can forgive me for helping a lowly goblin named Bob as he gets swept up in events around the city of White Bridge. I've seen Bob grow from a weak as a kitten goblin tending to his farm, to a mighty goblin warrior who could even give Goblin Slayer a run for his money. A game made by a single person, this RPG switches things up a bit from what you'd expect. Bob is just a goblin who is given a farm just outside the city of White Bridge, a weakling who can barely even hold his own against a single rat, yet has to face the adventure of a goblin lifetime all alone, no party to form, but plenty of friendships to be formed who can help Bob to get stronger. That is to say if he even needs to fight, because depending on his stats he can smooth talk or intimidate his way out of many situations, or even decide the fate of White Bridge or the world. Also some events can only be encountered depending on certain stats such as luck for example, and some people may only give you quests depending on Bob's looks or charisma. I got a good 60 hours out of this game, mainly because I did some level grinding a…

Another great game

Old school turn based RPG goodness! Unlike a lot of RPG's these days, this one went back to the roots of the RPG genre. Instead of a party of adventurers, this game only consists of one character, Bob, Since Bob is the only character we control, it feels a lot more personal. The game has interesting and often humorous interaction with the NPC's. The statistics system and sheer amount of gear availability are strong points of the game. Crafting and alchemy are some of the best you'll see in any RPG Maker game. I finished the game in 20 hours. That's a decent amount of play time for such a low price. If I had finished all of the side quests, I could have added 2 or 3 more hours of playtime. Overall, this game is a great value, If you are reading this until now, put this in your cart right away and buy it! Don't think about the overdue water bill, just buy this and all your problems will go away!

Delightful game, the grind is highly addictive. 11 hours in and still haven't found chickens or a cow, but I will keep searching until I do!
